I wonder what I will find at the local car boot sale this year?

[Cazza]

Went to Cirencester Toy Fair this morning and got this little lot. All in great condition and well priced 8)

I arrived at my local carboot at 7am raring to go, all I ended up with was a scalextric car for 50p. To make matters even worse as I was leaving I passed a father and his young son at the snap van.
Nothing unusual about that, however the young lad was holding a vintage X Wing in one, a vintage Tie Fighter in the other. I don't know how I missed them but I was and still am gutted about it.

I feel for you Sabreman, you can't be all over the boot sale as soon as you get there (and there's always next time), I see people get nice things 10 feet from me before I get there ,( that's just fate ) but the reverse happens some times to and you just have to say that it's the fun of the hunt or it will mess with your mind.
I am not one to grab things out of cars etc. as I think that's just bad manners, as I would not allow people to do that to me, but if I see something on the way out of a car I will ask politely if I could take a look at it. It is just a fact of life that the best stuff always goes within the first 20 minuets of the boot sale opening, but I have a rule that I never pay the higher entrance fee to get in 20 minuets earlier and joint the grabbing kayos as that's just not me
I do the occasional boot sale too and its just a fact that I take about half my money for the day in the first 20 minuets its mad but also quite fun

nice Acton Man collectors booklet Cazza, that brings back memories of collecting the stars for gifts as a kid and like green shield stamps when you had collected about a hundred thousand of them (seemed like that as a kid :lol: ) you could send of for the basic action man could you post a pick of the inside of the card , (a steel at a £1)
